Courage Campaign’s Ad Slams Governator

EDITOR’S NOTE:Courage Campaign has just released this ad and call to action against Schwarzenegger’s budget demands. The ad was created by Orange County’s dMedia. The following text is taken directly from the Courage Campaign’s call to action.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is about to let our state go up in smoke. But you can stop him.

I’ve never seen things this bad. Millions of ordinary Californians are on the brink of losing health insurance for their children, care for their sick, elderly or disabled parents, experiencing deep cuts to school funding and struggling to put food on their tables.

The one person who should be providing the most leadership to guide the state out of this unprecedented fiscal crisis seems to be the person least concerned.

Even worse — in a feeble attempt to distract the public from his leadership failures, the Governor is using charges of “fraud, waste, and abuse” as a cover for attacks on poor people, working families, and the vital public services that they use.

Gov. Schwarzenegger’s so-called “reform” proposals — like fingerprinting in-home care service providers — are punitive and have little to do with the budget. All while California loses millions and lives are jeopardized with each passing day without a budget.
We can’t let these attacks on working people go unanswered. We can’t let ordinary Californians drown in the fiscal crisis while the Governor sits in his jacuzzi and smokes a stogie.
